Denver @ Minnesota

This will become a great match-up.

Both teams are in a rebuilding process and have a lot of great, young talent. While the Nuggets don’t possess young guns as glamorous and Wiggins or Anthony-Towns, they still have a core that will battle Minnesota to the very end.

A Wiggins and Gallinari should be a fun match-up to watch (I’m calling it now), and could result in a shootout that decides the final outcome in the end. However, Karl Anthony- Towns is being praised the next big thing for a reason, and in the end coupled with them being at home, the Timberwolves will prevail.

My prediction is the Nuggets will fall to 1-3 with a final score of 95-92.
